Meet the Team
The Managing Director
Wendy Owen
Wendy began working for the company part time in 1985.. And ended up buying the company!
She began life as Sales Manager/PA and when the previous owner Peter Hudson decided to retire Wendy bought the company in 2005.
Weathering the recession has been Wendy’s biggest challenge to date- although her other passion is rescuing ferrets – and that too can be a challenge in itself! However her new puppy Pippa is creeping up on the challenge bar!
National Sales Manager
Jon Hardiment
Jon began life at Bowser Supply on the shop floor – actually building the Bowsers, so he literally knows the product inside out! When Wendy bought the company in 2005 it was Jon she asked to be the National Sales Manager – knowing that his expertise would enable him to help the customer get EXACTLY what they need.

Technical Sales Co-ordinator
Kevin Pendergest
Kevin has been with the company 47 years- and has forgotten more than we will probably ever learn! However now it’s his hearing aid he forgets and gets us all testing our lungs. His experience with steel fabrications is second to none- and he can work from your drawings or help you with design. He has been asked to quote for many varied items- from a swing in a budgie cage… to a new build factory.
Works Manager
Krzysztof Klejbach
Kris has been with us now since 2007 and started life as a welder/fabricator, however through hard work and dedication he has now worked his way up to work shop manager. Kris has a vast wealth of knowledge and experience, anything that needs doing is done with speed and efficiency, which ensure the fast turnover of our products.
Office Manager
Elliott Barnes
Elliott graduated from the University of Manchester in 2007 after studying Archaeology, during which time he visited ancient monuments around the globe.
After University Elliott opted for a quick career change and began working at Bowser Supply. Originally brought in for administration duties, he has really flourished in the accounting aspect of the job and has now been doing this for the past 3 years.
With this experience of Accounts Elliott has been able to train one of our newer recruits Sophie and is now is our Office Manager.
In November of last year Elliott became the proud dad of a little baby boy called Xander.
Accounts Admin
Sophie Etheridge
Sophie learnt the basics back in 2010 during a couple of months work experience whilst she was at college studying dance and sport, and must have enjoyed it as she now dances as a hobby and decided to join the team and came back to us full time in May 2011. Sophie deals with Accounts and also acts as PA to the MD Wendy, Sophie will be 20 in December 2012, but although she is “the baby” of the team, as Wendy’s niece she will one day take over the company!
Office Assistant
Stephanie Clegg
Steph is the newest recruit- only starting here in April 2012, yet she is already a valuable member of our team. Stephanie is keeping us all organised in the office and ensures everything is running smoothly.
Dog
Pippa
Pippa who has only recently joined us in the office, belongs to Wendy and comes to work everday. She is responsible for the waste paper management and scaring off any unwanted guests.
